It's no secret that L.A. Lakers golden child Andrew Bynam loves cars. Correction, he's obsessed with them. As a matter of fact, Bynam wants to become a mechanical engineer and build cars when his basketball glory days are over.
What's so special about the Camaro? Well, according to TMZ, Bynam's $50,000 whip looks exactly like bumblebee from 'Transformers.' What?
Bynum, 22, purchased a 2010 Chevy Camaro 2SS V8 with all the bells and whistles--and then some. Bynam, who is known for straight pimpin' his whips to the max, spared no expense for the Chevy. The baller added a customized body kit and yellow paint job with black racing stripes down the Camaro's hood.
Now I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Bynam slapped on some Forgiato wheels. Nice.

What a ridiculous article1 here I was thinking it was an actual bumblebee. News flash! Just because something is yellow and has two vertical stripes doesn't make it an insect. The car looks nothing like a bee or a transformer. It looks like a car for racing or drifting or something, I know nada about cars or athletes.
Whoever wrote this FAILED epically and needs to try again.

Another Antoine Walker in the making. I really wish black people would spend their money on something other than mulit tricked out cars and mulit homes. In about 10 years he not gonna have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of. In my opinion pro sports is the devil to black men. All they see are the dollar signs and quick millions. As soon as they break a leg or age it's O-V-E-R! I would rather opt for the college degree. For Andrew's sake I really hope he pursues the mechanical engineer thing cause in about 5-10 yrs he won't be worth squat to the NBA.

Ali, it's obvious that you did not see the movie "Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen". You see, Bumblebee is a character in the movie. This character, a yellow Chevy Camaro with black racing stripes (just like the one that Bynam bought) is a transformer in the movie.
